Chapter 323 Shiba Inus Tail

The 60th day of training.

What does it mean that the door to another world is coming? When we questioned Zex, he just replied that it would be better to see it in person and refused to leak any more information. He was putting on airs that it was unusual for a golem. Yesterdays activity ended when I complained about it. Before I knew it, the sun had gone down and the day was over.

There are no guest rooms, but the beds are water beds that seem to be a new product. The room was dimly lit with steel walls, which couldnt be called a bedroom, but the bedding made it even, so I forgave Zex. And the next morning

Id like to borrow your kitchen!

Zex-sama, I think you should learn a lot from Haruna-sans cooking for future product development.

Okay! Please use it!

This morning, Haru is in charge of cooking breakfast, probably because she was quite dissatisfied with yesterdays ultimate meal. Now, a safe, nutritious, and delicious meal is guaranteed. I, Nell, and Alezel are super relieved at this situation that we are having a coffee break while making small jokes.

Zex, let me use it too. Ill show you what real cooking is. While Im at it, Touko, Ill teach you too. Help me!

Eh, me too!?

Lilyvia-dono? Yes, of course you can. The food made by the Great Eight Demons, huh. I see, this is also very interesting. I have to record this!

The members of the Unprecedented party stood up at the same time. We stood up with a surprised look on our faces, just like how Chinatsu stood up from her seat yesterday. The only thing that comes to mind is the vicious cooking of the useless maid Lily. Im not worried about Touko at all. After all, she has common sense now.

W-Well, Lily is in perfect mode today. Also, the food I ate on the airship was delicious. Im sure it will be fine. Maybe!

The thing we ate was awful after all, so its no wonder our bodies reacted on their own. That thing was no good. As a weapon, I will use it immediately, though.

Right, her cooking was a weapon. Uhh, just remembering it makes my head hurts.

Nell-shish, what kind of food did she make you eat?

That was the kind of food beyond your imagination. Thinking it now, something was wrong with the past me for making Lilyvia, who made me eat that poisonous substance, serve me as a maid.

Ah, thats right. Deris-dono, the joint training with Haruna-dono will be held after breakfast. Theres some time before the door to another world arrives here, so please join her.

In the end, Ill also participate, huh. At least, can you tell me the content of the training?

Very well. Then, Ill explain it while we have breakfast.

I dont have a function to eat, though! . You are not going to repeat the same joke like that, right?

Hmm, what a high-leveled joke killer.

I think you should do something about that thought process first.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After having a delicious breakfast, I and Haru came to the underground passage located right below Al Nova. Of course, the purpose is to have joint training with the combat golems. Or at least that was the plan.

Hey, why is it just the two of us?

When I asked to increase the difficulty, Zex-san said that its better with a smaller number if thats the case. It seems that the plan was to do it together with the combat golems.

Its as if you were asking for a large serving. Well, I think its better for your training.

Ah, you cant leave everything to me, you know? After all, Nell-san ordered me to let Shish work as well.

Eh, why?

Youve become rusty, so use this opportunity to regain your senses! Something like that. She said that youve built up your stamina through running and have sharpened your mind through daily life, so you only need to do something about the technical side. Shish, I didnt know youve been making such efforts!

W-Well, yeah.

So, chasing after the dragon carriage and paying attention to my newly-married life with Nell were connected to my training, huh? Indeed, both of them made me feel like I was going to die. Im definitely getting back to my heyday. But I somehow cant accept it.

Now, we are heading to the so-called scrap yard, a dumpsite where iron scraps and failed products are thrown away.

And our task is cleaning! Im good at cleaning.

I know.

Haru is a girl who is very good at cleaning, both in the sense of housework and in the sense of eliminating obstacles. Setting aside taking her as a disciple, I even wanted to scout her to help with household chores. Her cleaning is flawless.

As Zex explained, this cleaning will be done in both senses. It seems that this scrap yard is regularly infested with monsters that feed on metal. Well get rid of them and clean up the waste as well.

I understand about the monsters, but how are we going to clean up the waste? Crush them with magic?

Well, there are many ways to do it. I heard that there is a line that goes to the incinerator, so putting them on it is one way to do it. Still, this is the training, huh. I thought that it was a match against the combat golems. Its no different than cleaning garbage, isnt it?

Calm down, Shish. Theres a saying that training your mind starts with cleaning. Lets do our best to make the scrap yard shine!

Theres no need to do it that far, okay?

Basically, its no different from subduing monsters, huh. Lets see since its a good opportunity, lets review her magic while cleaning.

Haru, what level of Darkness Magic can you use at the moment?

Well, it just ranked up to Abyss Magic the other day, so its up to level 1 of that magic.

The next rank of Dark Magic is Darkness Magic, and the next rank of Darkness Magic is Abyss Magic. In other words, the current Haru can use up to level 1 magic of Abyss Magic. However, being able to manifest them and being able to fully utilize them are different matters.

Then, lets start with the Darkness Magic. You have to use them from level 1 to level 100 in turn while cleaning up the monsters. I will follow after you.

Eh!? A-All of them!?

Yeah, all of them. Dont worry, you havent used any scrolls lately, so its only the fundamental magic. You have the Magic Power Preservation Skill that reduces the consumption of magic power, so it wont be a problem for your MP, right?

I-I will do my best.

Haru has taken out her Doggan Staff, probably because she was thinking of solving it with physics. But now, the edge of the blade is hanging down as if to show her feelings. I wonder if thats a substitute for a dogs tail?
